Oszkar is a Hungarian variant of the name Oscar, which has Germanic origins meaning 'divine spear' or 'God's spear.' In Hungary, the spelling with 'sz' reflects the Hungarian phonetic system. The name gained popularity in the 19th century through Scandinavian literature, particularly after Napoleon's marshal Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte became King Oscar I of Sweden. Oszkar combines strength and artistic flair in Hungarian culture and has maintained moderate popularity. Notable Hungarians with this name include Oszkar Asboth, an aviation pioneer, contributing to the name's distinguished reputation in Hungary.
